Second edition.<br /><br />Alonso de la Rea was born in Queretaro in 1610. He wrote his Cronica in 1637-1639 providing data on Michoacán and Jalisco. For many matters he leaned heavily on Torquemada who in turn had copied them from Mendieta. Ricard quoting an 18th century opinion mentions that Rea lacked interest in chronology to an excessive degree. His work was however an official and methodical chronicle of the province preserving considerable detail about it. Rea's Cronica . 1639 was first published in 1643 and is now a bibliographical rarity. The volume is divided into three books totaling 92 chapter. Book 1 describes the region products people their dealings with Aztecs their general traits religious rites the last native emperors and coming of the Spaniards.

In 1511 Aguilar left Panama on a caravel sailing to Santo Domingo accompanying the procurator Juan de Valdivia. They were shipwrecked near the Yucatán Peninsula due to bad weather but Aguilar along with a sailor from Palos in Spain Gonzalo Guerrero were two of fifteen survivors. Strong currents brought them in their ship's boat to the coast of the modern-day Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Aguilar and the others were captured by the local Maya and scheduled to be sacrificed to Maya gods. He and Gonzalo Guerrero eventually managed to escape later to be taken as a slave by another Mayan chief named Xamanzana.1 Here he and Guerrero were able to learn the language of their captors. Aguilar lived as a slave during his eight years with the Maya. Guerrero became chief in time of war for Nachan Kaan Lord of Chektumal married a rich Maya woman and fathered the first mestizo children of Mexico. Hernán Cortés invaded Mexico in 1519. Aguilar joined the expedition. Speaking both Maya and Spanish he and La Malinche who could speak Maya and Nahuatl translated for Cortés during the Conquest of Mexico. His usefulness in that capacity ended once La Malinche had learned Spanish. Aguilar died in 1531 in an unknown location.

1820E0028xxxvi396 pages Octavo 9" x 5 1/4" bound in stiff boards with cloth spine and spine label. Howes R380. Sabin 72202 First edition.<br /><br />Francisco Xavier Mina Spanish revolutionist and filibuster was born at Idocín Navarre in northern Spain on December 3 1789. As a student at the University of Zaragoza in 1808 when his countrymen rebelled against French control he joined the Spanish liberals and quickly became a leading guerrilla. When Ferdinand VII returned to the Spanish throne and renounced the liberal constitution of 1812 Mina opposed him and was eventually forced to flee. In October 1814 he arrived in England where he became acquainted with General Winfield Scott of the United States and Father José Servando Teresa de Mier Noriega y Guerra an ardent Mexican liberal who encouraged Mina to strike at Ferdinand VII through an invasion of Mexico. Scott also is thought to have encouraged Mina and to have assured him of the support of the United States for an expedition to free Mexico from Spain. As a result of this encouragement Mina made preparations to form an expedition. On May 15 1816 he left Liverpool in the ship Caledonia expecting to attack Mexico. On June 20 1816 the Caledonia reached Norfolk Virginia. Mina left it there to proceed to Washington while the ship moved on to Baltimore. At Washington he presumably conferred with high officials but this is not certain. He proceeded then to Baltimore where merchants of that city were willing to gamble on the expedition by furnishing the ship Calypso and arms and munitions for the enterprise. In July Mina visited Philadelphia and in August he went to New York always enlisting aid for his cause. New York merchants gave him two vessels and supplies. By the end of August 1816 he was ready to sail but complications arose with the Spanish minister in Washington who was bringing pressure to bear on the United States to prevent the expedition. Two vessels the Caledonia and the Dolphin however were dispatched to Port-au-Prince on September 1 1816. Father Mier who was with Mina on the expedition was sent ahead on September 19 1816 to contact revolutionary forces in Mexico. Mina in the Calypso left Baltimore on September 26 bound for Port-au-Prince where he arrived on October 13 1816. After difficulties and delays including disease and desertion he was able to set sail from Port-au-Prince on October 27 with four vessels headed for Galveston to join Louis Michel Aury who was also planning an invasion of Mexico. Mina reached Galveston on November 22 with about 140 officers and men. After some bickering with Aury Mina was permitted to land and began to organize his forces. Mier meanwhile had been forced by bad weather to land in New Orleans and in early December left for Galveston with the information that aid and assistance could be raised in New Orleans probably with the proviso that Mina proceed to Pensacola rather than Mexico. Mina proceeded to New Orleans in February 1817 and conferred with his New Orleans associates but decided against an attack on Pensacola deploring the commercial character of such an expedition. He bought two ships the Cleopatra and the Neptune at New Orleans. On March 16 he was again at Galveston where he received the force of Colonel Henry Perry 100 men. An arrangement was made whereby Aury was to be naval commander of the expedition while Mina was to have command of the military. The invasion point of Mexico was to be Soto la Marina Tamaulipas. The expedition left Galveston Island on April 7 with a force of eight ships and 235 men. After stopping at the mouth of the Rio Grande for water the force reached the mouth of the Santander River on April 11. The troops were disembarked on April 15. Mina captured Soto la Marina without difficulty and proceeded inland. After many small victories over the Spanish all the while trying to restore unity among insurgent leaders he was defeated and captured at Venadito on October 27. He was taken to Mexico City tried and executed at Fort San Gregorio with twenty-five companions on November 11 1817 at the age of twenty-eight years.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />New cloth over boards with original label attached to spine spine reinforced with later fabric back-strip some toning to the pages throughout hinges tender else a good copy.
